Vietnam among CIO Magazine’s “6 Hot Offshore Markets”
Vietnam has been recognized by CIO Magazine as one of six emerging offshore IT outsourcing markets worth watching in 2013.
In its article, “6 Hot Offshore IT Outsourcing Markets Offer New Options,” CIO examined a number of developing technology destinations that could provide businesses with alternatives to more established outsourcing markets. Vietnam was highlighted as a particularly promising location due to its competitive operating environment, growing technical workforce, and increasing participation in the global software industry.
According to CIO, Vietnam compares favorably with established outsourcing destinations when factors such as salaries, wage inflation, real estate costs, and taxes are considered. The country was also noted for its relatively low operating costs and strong government support for the technology sector.
These advantages have helped Vietnam attract increasing attention from international companies seeking reliable and cost-effective software development capabilities. Beyond cost, the country’s growing community of engineers, improving infrastructure, and commitment to technical education have created a strong foundation for long-term industry development.
For Enclave, this recognition reflects the potential we have seen in Vietnam’s software engineering community for many years. Vietnamese engineers bring strong technical ability, adaptability, and a willingness to work closely with international teams. These qualities are especially valuable to companies looking for more than a short-term outsourcing vendor.
A successful offshore partnership requires more than simply completing assigned development tasks. It depends on clear communication, consistent engineering standards, cultural alignment, intellectual property protection, and a shared commitment to long-term results.
From our development center in Da Nang, Enclave continues to help international clients establish and grow dedicated software engineering teams. Our model enables clients to work directly with their teams, retain control over product direction and technical decisions, and build the knowledge and continuity needed for complex software development.
Vietnam’s inclusion among CIO Magazine’s “6 Hot Offshore Markets” represents an important acknowledgment of the country’s progress. It also signals a broader shift in the global technology landscape, as companies begin looking beyond traditional outsourcing destinations for new sources of engineering talent and sustainable partnership.
As Vietnam’s technology ecosystem continues to develop, we believe the country is well positioned to become an increasingly important destination for global software development and offshore engineering services.
